I can’t spoil it for people if they’re WEIRD AND HAVEN’T READ THEM YET and have been living under a rock . . . but oh my gosh can Cassandra Clare just stop (A) making me ship literally everyone with anything* (B) making me feel like I need to be a kick-ass warrior AND slay at relationships (C) making my heart explode with emotion.

I just want all of them to have a happy hope ast feed them cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate forever. . .

*I’d probably ship Will with a pencil (or me) or something if Cassie Clare wrote that. I mean… it could be a healthy relationship.

EVERYONE IS SO KICK-ASS.

THIS IS BASICALLY ALL SHADOWHUNTERS AS SOON AS THEY CAN WALK.

Honestly, this series has everything. I!! Just!! Can’t!!

They’re like these 385763-meter-jumping-powerful-demon-killing-hero-demi-angles that kick.ass.every.damn.day while all being tortured smol souls that I adore and want to just look after forever. JEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

what? don’t judge me . . .

SIX, THE WIT.

I just. When there’s a book with certain Herondales, you cannot think for a second that you wont be met with constant witty comments, humour adn downright SASS.

You just can’t.

These books are so brillaintly hilarious and if youread it for nothing else, read it for the comedy.

I think that the funniest of the three series is by far The Mortal Instruments, as there’s Jace, who is literally made of sass and nothing else. Screw genetics. It’sjust sass and nothing else (I mean… there’s good looks too… oh and we cannot forget the amazing fighting skills. . . BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. . . im not obsessed with him or anything). I’M NOT COMPLAINING.

“You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?”
“A long one?”

“Usually I’m remarkably good natured. Try me on a day that doesn’t end in y.”

THE BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE

“And I’m suppose to sit by while you date boys and fall in love with someone else, get married…?” His voice tightened. “And meanwhile, I’ll die a little bit more every day, watching.”

The characters are so raw, adn the wiritng is so eloquent, and so much EMOTION is displayed in the writing and THE CHARACTES ARE DEVELOPED SO QUICKLY.

I JUST DIE.

I’ve actually died several (thousand) times while reading this series, it’s been a relaxing experience so far.

You know, I have been considering reading her books. I read the original trilogy (Mortal Instruments?) a few years ago, and it was okay. But I have heard such amazing reviews for her books, I’m tempted to give the others a go too. This post has just convinced me! Congratulations 😉

[…] Okay so I love Cassie Clare’s book. I ADORE the shadowhunter books SO SO SO MUCH And I’m mentioning this to make a point. I even expressed my love in a post which ooooohhh look you can check that out here. […]

AHahah yeahhh I have to admit I have never read any of her books… *hides behind TBR pile*. A few years ago EVERYONE from my school was reading them and unfortunately I am either before the trend or run away from it like a hipster from starbucks coffee. I got the first one as a gift so I will probably read it eventually…. but it’s no where near the top of my list and my continuing of her books will rely heavily on whether I like that one book. It’s a lot of pressure… I feel like I’ve waited too long to dive into that world and I don’t want to have to deal with it now.

ALL HAIL THIS POST!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ Every freaking thing you stated is sooo true. Everybody needs some Herondales in their life to make it brighter or some Blackthorn family. For me, it's both though, CC's books are the beeeeest!

Uuugghhh, my friend is OBSESSED with everything Shadowhunter, and I read City of Bones for her. But I was,, not impressed??? Three stars, and now I’ve forgotten everything that happened in order to read the second book. I mean, the only series I really want to read is TDA,,, the other ones don’t interest me that much. And Jace actually annoyed me??? He was definitely the Sarcastic and Sassy Bad Boy With a Tragic Past stereotype. But he WAS very funny. In fact, if I pik this series up for anything, it’ll be for the sass, because I’ve read quotes and they’re HILARIOUS.

AHHH NOOOO it’s so sad that you didn’t like it!! (and yas i get where you’re coming from with Jace tbh) kjregekrbvjfbterbg TDA is so good you musttttt readd ittttttt (BUT IT’S SO MUCH BETTER ONCE YOU’VE READ THE REST!!) igmnreignv the jokes gave me life and ive 10/10 become 6543% sassier after reading them.

Yes! These are so amazing!!! I’ve only read The Mortal Instruments and the first Infernal Devices, and I’m very impatient to read the rest.
And, yes, they are so shipable! I usually like, sorta ship things, but… I don’t get as serious about it as most people do. I shipped these characters so hard though! BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL WONDERFUL!!! And I just want Clockwork Prince SO badly!!!

LU THIS IS MY FAVOURITE POST OF YOURS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY SPOT ON OHMIGOSH I LOVE CASSIE SO MUCH AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER BOOKS AND I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS AND YOU LITERALLY LISTED EVERY THOUGHT OF MINE. THE WRITING AND THE LANGUAGE IS SO BRUTALLY RAW IT WRENCHES MY HEART. AND THE WIT. CLARE MUST BR SUPER WITTY TO BE WRITING ALL THAT. I LOVE THIS POST AHHHHHHH

They’re just.. everything. Simply. Everything.
And I started loving them even more when they DIDN’T screw up while casting for Shadowhunters because – kill me or don’t, don’t care – those actors simply upped MALEC that little bit more and I thought that wasn’t even possible anymore.

Ahhh I don’t like Jace!! He doesn’t seem like the Jace I pictured, and for me was all wrong. UGH yes Clary. I don’t feel like she can act??? The chemistry between her and Jace just isn’t there for me, which is super sad

I had my doubts at first but.. Okay, maybe I’m just biased because I think he’s cute? ><
Clary's just.. I don't like her acting and her hair looks so.. fake? I don't know. There's a lot missing on that part..

I FEEL LIKE SUCH AN OUTSIDER NOW! *nervous sweats* uhhhh….I have not read A SINGLE BOOK BY CLARE!! 😱😱😱 But I own Lady Midnight and reading you describe ALL THE REASONS I SHOULD FUCKING GET OFF MY ASS AND START READING IT, so here I am now – WITH Lady Midnight in my hands and ALL READY TO BE OPENED AND READ. 😁😁😁

GREAT POST, as always LUUU!! ❤❤

But……uhhhhh…….*stammers* do tell me one thing I have beeN DYING TO KNOW AND CAN’T RESIST ASKING ANY LONGER – what the fuck does ‘SMOL’ mean? 😂😂😂😂

NOOOOO dont feel like an outsider!! YASSSSS but start with TMI because LADY MIDNIGHT HITS YOU SO MUCH MOREEEE ONCE YOU’VE READ THE OTHER SERIES.

Aww thank you!!!!

Ahhh so “smol” is like “small” but in a cute voice, if you know what i mean?? But now it sort of means something really cute and adorable??/?? IF THAT MAKES SENSE??
I think google would make more sense
